Is much known about Pielmeier? I know his stats don't look great, but I did not realize that he's so young. I wonder what the chances are of him making it. I guess more starts in the AHL will tell us.

This is just my speculation but I feel like the Devils may not tender Pielmeier a contract after this year. They'll still have Frazee and Kinkaid in Albany or one of them backing up in NJ. They'll also have Clermont in the organization who would be stuck back in the ECHL if Frazee and Kinkaid are in Albany. I'm going to guess that Wedgewood turns pro so who knows where they fit him in but I think he'd move ahead of Clermont on the depth chart and they'd want him in Albany. It looks like too much of a full house to bring Pielmeier back.

Harry Young is regarded as a defensive defenseman destined to be a career minor leaguer but he has put together some point production lately. Over his last 4 games he has 2 goals and 2 assists. Good for him.

Who is Joe Whitney and why isn't anyone talking about him? He leads the team in points and he's a RW. Why hase't he gotten called up yet but we still see Palmeiri? Different roles I guess?

Albany signed Joe Whitney as an undrafted college free agent out of Boston College over the summer. The biggest obstacle for him to overcome is his size, listed on the AHL website as 5'6 170 lbs. Despite this he has been producing a solid rookie year in the AHL.

Season: 48 GP 12 G 17 A 29 Pts -2 22 PIM 10.17 SH% 2.46 S/G

Obviously because of size and experience, the NJ Devils would rather have Palmieri up for a 4th line role.
